Day 2: Reality TV

You see once again I can't really be too hard on reality TV. I did get sucked into Big Brother once, the Jade Goody one if you please! And I did get addicted to a crazy Latvian one called Fabrik, which you could watch online, like a kind of Fame Academy thing... but that's it. I mean that one I couldn't even understand what they were saying... actually that helped a bit, as I was not creeped out by how stupid they were, but just watched the interaction between the people. If Reality TV has any redeeming feature, acting as a nasty little light to see ourselves with, yeah okay it has a small amount of value.

But... It is just a TV drug. It sucks you in, like an addiction or a vice. Don't get me wrong, vices are what separate us from the frogs and amoebas, but TV should not be one.
